Mics on a stack of coats aiming up toward the overhanging PA. Miles opened the Kool Jazz Festival and it was quickly determined that 1 of the 270's had a cable short so the switch to the 18n became necessary. Thus the first 5 minutes are mono until the 18n kicks in. The D5M XLIIS master was sticking during playback so Wayne's 152 SD master was the main source of the show with the D5M used for a patch source during the staggered tape flip. Wayne used a NAK DR3 for playback> Denon C550R burner, Taperpat a Sony RX79ES> Phillips 785 standalone. Miles opened for Herbie Hancock (w/ Branford Marsalis) and Jeff Lorber (w/ Kenny G). Both should follow shortly. Thanks to John for all his work. My comments: I received two discs from Taperpat. The first one had the entire show without cuts or gaps. The sound quality of the recording on the second disc was better, but unfortunately 'Back Seat Betty' was incomplete, so I used the version from the first disc for this seed. All the other tracks came from the second disc. With some editing I could create seamless transitions between track 1 (from disc #2), track 2 (from disc #1) and track 3 (from disc #2), so cross-fades were not necessary. I increased the volume of 'Back Seat Betty' from the first disc somewhat, so that the volume level became more or less identical to the volume of the tracks from the second disc. I didn't have to do much else, except for removing some gaps and silences. The second disc is a first-class audience recording and the sound quality is amazing for an audience recording from the early 1980's. Thanks to Taperpat and Wayne for making this available.
